Japan inspired Dutch architecture





Nowadays a true revival of this "architecture of the thirties" is taking place in the Netherlands. This architecture is inspired by the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright was an important liaison between Japanese and western architecture.


An important feature is the prominent roof, indicating that the house is offering shelter to its inhabitants. This roof clearly is a Japanese item. In temple design the roof is at least two third (!) of the temple's height.
